Defining experience that inspired me to go to SAPL:

There are many, however my involvement with last year’s first offering of SAPL’s undergraduate studio, open to undergrads from across campus was amazing. It allowed students to get an introduction to aspects of design, design thinking, building skills in model making, composition, design discussion, presentations, and using design to address aspects of social innovation, contributing to our city. It was an excellent year.
